Verfahren zur Herstellung von Kabelbaeumen

The description refers to a process for the production of cable harnesses, in particular using the so-called crimping technique, by means of a multi-axis positioning device and in particular by means of an industrial robot which is controlled by a control unit. The invention is characterized by a combination of the following steps: a) The industrial robot grabs a first tool which picks up, stores, contacts and lays the cable, b) the industrial robot transfers the tool to a cable terminating device, c) the industrial robot removes an indentical tool from the cable terminating device, said tool already containing a stored cable on which the cable ends are provided with contacts which are located at defined points. d) The industrial robot moves the tool to the connector housing, inserts the contacts in the connector housing and lays the cable stored in the tool.
